Selection 


   . One of the three basic building blocks of algorithm development
     (the others are sequence and iteration).  Selection allows control
     to flow along a number of possible paths, the actual depending on
     the circumstance encountered.

   . A DBMS term that specifies a subset of records meeting a
     condition.  The selection itself is obtained with a selection
     operator.  In Clipper, the analogy is the FOR clause.
